A review by papelgren
Everything Good Will Come by Sefi Atta

4.0

A finely tuned narrative about female empowerment in a country that has its share of patriarchy and corrupt government. It is strongest in its details of a furious friendship between the narrator Enitan and Sheri, but the details of Nigeria's history that come throughout are wonderfully informative. This book provides a perspective western audiences should seek out. A powerful female character challenges the status quo while dealing with all manner of conflicts. Atta's complicated relationship with Nigeria made me want to go there despite all the flaws. So many incredible and rich characters populate this book.
